What's crazy is that Facebook has only been a public open-signup website for ~6 years, and it's so tempting to assume it will be around and popular forever -- I mean, why wouldn't it?

But at the end of the day we really have no idea what the world will be like in 15 years.

It only took MySpace 3 years to fall out of favor.

"I'm not on facebook" is a very proud statement among almost every teen or tween group nowadays atleast where I come from (India) and more often than not it is followed by a "Oh nice".

Apparently people have really started getting over facebook or atleast for many of them it has remained as a contacts manager and a messenger.

In my opinion the solution is not another SN like G+ but a better, more refined and faster way to communicate electronically.
